  • Takeaways from Tallahassee — Thrasher Thrives at FSU
    Takeaways from Tallahassee — Thrasher thrives at FSU After five years as FSU President, John Thrasher proves that nothing speaks louder than success. By Staff Reports | Florida Politics November 23, 2019 Thrasher thrives at FSU In 2014, when Florida State University trustees were searching for a president to replace Eric Barron, who had decamped rather quickly to take over the top position at Penn State, the university’s Faculty Senate knew who they didn’t want and drafted a resolution saying so: “Be it resolved that we, the members of the Florida State University Faculty Senate, call upon the Presidential Search Advisory Committee not to recommend Sen. (John) Thrasher as a candidate for president of FSU. We further call upon the Board of Trustees not to hire Sen. Thrasher as the next president of FSU. Sen. Thrasher lacks the stated qualifications for the position … ” After five years, John Thrasher has the last laugh at FSU. What a difference five years makes. “We were all skeptical. In fact, we were more than skeptical,” explained today’s Faculty Senate president, History professor Dr. Kristine Harper. “But within a year, he had won us over. I’m a believer. I think he’s done a super job for us.” When he took over as president in November 2014, Harper and her peers found Thrasher a “good listener” and quick on the uptake. They also came to appreciate his ability to “speak the same language as the legislators speak,” Harper said. During his tenure, Thrasher has been able to secure state money to fund faculty raises and lower class sizes at the university.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE March 6, 2017 SPEAKER RICHARD CORCORAN NAMES CONSTITUTION REVISION COMMISSION APPOINTEES Tallahassee, FL – Speaker Richard Corcoran today announced his nine appointments to the Constitution Revision Commission. Upon announcing his selections, Speaker Corcoran said, “I've said it on numerous occasions, I would only appoint Commission Members who understood and respected the role of our constitution and the separation of powers. I believe all these appointees share that respect and understanding. With that as a foundation, these appointees are diverse, principled, and won't march in lockstep with anyone. And my only charge to each has been to do what they believe to be right. I am sure that each Member appointed today will do their part to ensure freedom and the rule of law are embodied in our final product. Speaker Corcoran went on to say, “This decision was difficult and many distinguished and capable leaders were considered. I thank all who submitted applications or expressed their desire to serve. Florida is blessed with incredible men and women who are eager to serve and I won't forget the dozens who sought to enter the arena.” Speaker Corcoran concluded by saying, “The decision making process did place a premium on past or current elected office. The rationale behind this being that those who have placed their name before the people have an excellent understanding who they work for.” The appointees are as follows: 2017 Constitution Revision Commission Appointee Biographies Representative Jose Felix Diaz Representative Jose Felix Diaz is an attorney, husband, and father of two children.

  • Republicans Maintain a Majority in 188 Races for Newly Redrawn Florida Legislative and Congressional Districts
    Republicans Maintain a Majority in 188 Races for Newly Redrawn Florida Legislative and Congressional Districts by Rheb Harbison Carlton Fields Senior Government Consultant 11.07.2012; 4:00 a.m. Republicans held their grip over both chambers of the Florida Legislature in the first election following the spring 2012 redraw of state’s legislative and congressional district lines. The redistricting exercise occurs every 10 years following the most recent US Census, and when complete requires all 160 members of the Florida Legislature to run for office. The decennial US Census also gave Florida two additional seats in the US House of Representatives, bringing the state’s delegation to 29 members: 27 in the US House of Representatives and two in the US Senate. All of the US House seats were up for election this year. Democrats held onto one of the two US Senate seats with incumbent US Senator Bill Nelson winning decisively over US Representative Connie Mack in Tuesday’s election. Miami Republican Marco Rubio, who was not up for election this year, holds the other US Senate seat. As well, voters decided the fate of 11 proposed amendments to the Florida Constitution at Tuesday’s General Election. All of the proposed amendments were placed on the ballot by the Florida Legislature. ► 2013-2014 Florida Senate Republicans have now controlled Florida’s Senate for over a decade. The Party won 26 seats and fell just one member short of achieving a Republican “Super Majority” with the defeat of incumbent Republican Ellyn Bogdanoff. Super Majority rule essentially means one party completely controls the chamber’s political agenda by controlling the procedural rules of the chamber.
